Proofs with Uno
Proofs are written in Two-Column Form
• Deductive reasoning is used to prove whether a statement is correct. It uses basic or general statements to arrive at a conclusion.
• Step by step ideas must be laid out with postulates or proven theorems to prove a statement.
Postulates and Theorems
• Postulates are big ideas that are accepted as universal truths without proof.
• Theorems are ideas that can be proven using deductive logic (through syllogisms).
Format of Two-Column Proofs:
• Write the “GIVEN” information, and what is to be proved.
• Construct a T.
• Statements that are true are placed in the first column. These statements are the steps needed to towards proving something.
• Reasons why the statement is true is placed in the
second column.
Writing Uno Proofs
• The postulates are the rules of Uno.
• The first card is the Given.
• Syllogistic logic is used to list the order in which cards are played to finally play the card to be Proved.
• The logic is justified in 2-column format.
3 Postulates of Uno!
1. Play the same color card.
2. Play the same number card.
3. Play a WILD card to change color.

Card played Reason__________ 1. Blue 6 ▐ 1. Given 2. Blue Skip ▐ 2. Same Color 3. Wild Draw 4 ▐ 3. Change Color 4. Yellow 5 ▐ 4. Same Color 5. Yellow 1 ▐ 5. Same Color 6. Yellow Reverse ▐ 6. Same Color

Same Color
Not every postulate has to be used.

Given: Red R Prove: Red 9
Card played Reason
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Red Reverse ▐ 1. Given
2. Yellow Reverse ▐ 2. Same Symbol
3. Wild Draw 4 ▐ 3. Change Color
4. Blue 9 ▐ 4. Same Color
5. Red 9 ▐ 5. Same Number
No need to use Blue

Given: Yellow 1 Prove: Red 2
Statements Reasons
----------------------------------------------------------
1. Yellow 1 ▐ 1. Given
2. Yellow 0 ▐ 2. Same Color
3. Red 0 ▐ 3. Same Number
4. Red 2 ▐ 4. Same Color
Given: Prove:
Using:
T-Chart
Given: Blue 2 Prove: Red 1
Statements : Reasons:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Blue 2 ▐ 1. Given
2. Blue Draw 2 ▐ 2. Same Color
3. Green Draw 2 ▐ 3. Same Symbol
4. Wild Card ▐ 4. Change Color
5. Blue 1 ▐ 5. Same Color
6. Red 1 ▐ 6. Same Number
Given: Prove:
Using:
T-Chart
Given: Red 1 Prove: Green 3
Statements Reasons
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Red 1 ▐ 1. Given
2. Red Draw 2 ▐ 2. Same Color
3. Red Draw 2 ▐ 3. Same Symbol
4. Wild ▐ 4. Change Color
5. Green 7 ▐ 5. Same Color
6. Green 3 ▐ 6. Same Color
Given: Prove:
Using:
T-Chart
Given: Green Draw 2 Prove: Blue Skip
Statements (What Card to Play): Reasons (I can play this card because):
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Green Draw 2 ▐ 1. Given
2. Green 9 ▐ 2. Same Color
3. Blue 9 ▐ 3. Same Number
4. Blue Skip ▐ 4. Same Color
The Red 9 does not have to be used. (It is ok to do so, but would require an additional step.)
Given: Prove:
Using:
T-Chart
Given: Blue 9 Prove: Red 2
Statements: Reasons:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Blue 9 ▐ 1. Given
2. Blue Draw 2 ▐ 2. Same Color
3. Green Draw 2 ▐ 3. Same Symbol
4. Green 6 ▐ 4. Same Color
5. Red 6 ▐ 5. Same Number
6. Red 2 ▐ 6. Same Color
